Re: What's this on Ginger?
Looks like missing scales. Make sure there's nothing too rough in her enclosure that could tear them off

Re: What's this on Ginger?
How long have they been there? Looks like rat bites. Do you feed live?

Re: What's this on Ginger?
I would say that they haven't been there more than 2 weeks. Can't be rat bites - we feed f/t.
I'm wondering if her hot side cave is too hot. The temp is a steady 92, but maybe there's a hot pocket inside of her cave.
These are on her back, not belly, so I assume scale rot is out?

Have you inspected the inside of her hides?
I have found that most natural looking hides that I have bought have had sharp protrusions. I had to spend about 15 -20 minutes grinding and sanding them smooth.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

If you hadn't said F/T I would have bet a hundred bucks those were rat bites just because of the pattern of them. LOL.
I had a buddy who used to keep his snakes in square glass terrariums with a round water bowl in the corner. I say used to, because he stopped after he realized some of the bigger / more adventurous snakes would get into the corner, get partially trapped, and pinch themselves with the ceramic against the glass. I never actually saw the injuries on them, so I can't really say, but I figured it was worth mentioning. As others have said, a lot of hides that are smooth on the outside are still rough on the inside. I have had to doctor some that I've purchased online, and I have had to throw some away too.
